Been down with the flu for a few days, so that gave me the time to do some work on this new plugin.

Two new major features: Picturesearch through the picasagallery API, and pagination of thumbnails.

Here's what changed since the initial release: 

0.90 [06-04-2008]

• initial version

0.90a [07-04-2008]

• (bugfix) album content not displayed when it contains only 1 picture

• (compatibility) works with either cURL or allow_url_fopen enabled, defaults to cURL

• (bugfix) a few minor bugfixes and enhancements

0.90b [07-04-2008]

• (bugfix) no albums displayed when only one album present

• (bugfix) albums not displayed when renamed in picasaweb

0.91 [09-04-2008]

• (feature) pagination: number of thumbnails per page can be configured

• (feature) picture search through the API

Here's another approach to a picturegallery: picasagallery. This one pulls all public albums and pics from any given picasaweb account, thanks to google's new api, and presents them in a nice way on your webpage!

• images are served by picasaweb, so you get >1 gb webspace for free
• uses the excellent Highslide script for displaying images
• low overhead <25k including javascript (no javascript frameworks to download)
• NOT using Zend libraries, but rather implemented my own PHP4 compatible engine!

This is an alpha release so expect to find bugs here and there.

Todo list:

• pagination of thumbnails
• Implement user rights so that logged in users can see restricted albums
• write comments through the google api

Installation instructions are included in the >>download<<.

[edit]

Version 0.91 is available here.

Enjoy
